‘Growing for Good’ inspires ambitious new sustainability targets; To Halve Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2030

SBF GB&I, along with the entire Suntory Group, is accelerating its fight against climate change by targeting a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from direct operations and a 30% decrease across its value chain, by 2030.

This new interim goal is ambitious and aims to accelerate our progress towards net zero by 2050.

To achieve this reduction we will be examining every aspect of our supply chain operations and wider value chain from ingredients in our drinks and materials in manufacturing to fuel in our vehicles and fertiliser on our farms. Minimising our environmental impact is a key part of our Growing for Good vision and what our customers and consumers expect from us.

Improving the sustainability of both our packaging and processes is vital on this journey and we are well on our way with many of our drinks. We have already reduced our carbon footprint by 25% in the last five years and we are committed to doing all we can to play our part in the journey to net zero.

Michelle Norman, Director of External Affairs and Sustainability at Suntory Beverage and Food GB&I.

Since 2015, SBF GB&I has reduced its carbon footprint by a quarter. Consistent improvement over the five-year period is due to an array of initiatives including a new energy and water-efficient bottling line, continued investment in warehousing and operations efficiencies, and using increasing amounts of recycled plastic (rPET) in primary packaging.
